I would just LOVE to know which reading program covers all bases. Having so many options can be oppressive, rather than freeing. They all seem to claim the same thing. And they all seem to claim they are better than the others. Meanwhile, I, myself, don't remember LEARNING how to read, just suddenly being ABLE to read. Most of my kids were late readers, but in high-school they don't seem to have any problems. My one child who DOES read easily, didn't even need to be TAUGHT. All this, just brings so many things into question. It also makes me wonder if I should direct them to a particular curriculum for when THEY need to teach their own children, in case they missed something themselves. You can probably tell that I often second-guess myself. chuckle.
How do you go about having your child formally evaluated for potential special education needs... and then how do you go about accessing support services available in the public school system should they qualify for these state funded supports. (For example, I believe homeschooled students are able to still receive speech support...). Can you seek out help from a team of educators to develop an IEP if needed? Also, is there a particular way a parent is advised to inquire with potential field trip opportunities? Is cold calling with the purpose simple requested ideal or is there a way to increase the likelyhood of a request being accepted and perhaps provided free of charge or at a reduced rate for students to visit? Is it in bad taste to inquire private dates for visiting to meet the needs of disabled students who would not benefit from attending a field trip where other schools/classes are visiting during the same time...may save the site of the trip resources but may not be a resource for all types of learner's.
